Portugal is crammed with history, culture and cuisine, and these three characteristics have seen it visited by over 10 million tourists a year (and counting). Add stunning scenery to that list and you’ve got an endless supply of activities to keep you occupied.
The country is renowned for its enchanting cities, with the capital of Lisbon perched on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Its distinctive culture is emphasised by traditional fado music reverberating through the charming cobblestone streets and pastelarias serving up delicious pastéis de nata (custard tarts). For a unique way to explore the beautiful old town, hop aboard tram 28 – one of a few old fashioned tram lines still operating in Lisbon today. Porto, the second-largest city, offers up a charming medieval centre, coastal walks and bistros serving up ‘Francesinha’– a typical meat and cheese-filled sandwich distinctive to the city. Many popular beaches can be found closeby, such as the scenic shores of Gaia or Espinho. Hotels, B&Bs and apartments are dotted all over the country. You’ll also find a variety of guest houses and unique accommodation houses in charming manor houses or restored stone cottages and farmhouses.

Guest review
The hotel is brand new as I found out yesterday. The size of the room is very nice. Very beautiful and artistic design. Very kind stuff that meet your needs over and beyond the expectations. I was one night last week and turned around my plans to come back again and stay 2 more nights before flying back home. As a previous 5 star hotelier I can tell a lot about the quality.

Located in Guarda, 5.6 km from Guarda Castle, Quinta do Rio Noémi provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.
Guest review
This was our favourite place we stayed in 3 weeks of travelling over Portugal. Run by a very friendly family who pay a lot of attention to details. Very good homemade breakfast, with some things made fresh when you go to the room. The building is really nicely rennovated with a nice central area with a log burner. Well located close to Guarda and to do Passadiços do Mondego for which the accomodation has a lot of helpful information for things to do in the surrounding area.

Well set in Porto, Ribeira Douro Hotel features 2-star accommodation close to Palacio da Bolsa and Ferreira Borges Market.
Guest review
When I made my advance reservation months ago, I was a bit skeptical because the hotel was brand new with only one online review. However, the photos were beautiful and the location seemed amazing, so I went through with the reservation. And upon checking in, I was not disappointed. The hotel and room were very clean. Our room was loft-style with a view of the Douro River, which was located just around the corner from the hotel. The breakfast was also amazing with a variety of bread, pastries, fresh fruits, etc. Location was also amazing. It's located in an alleyway in front of the Douro River and around the corner from the Church of St. Francis. Overall, my family had an amazing stay and will definitely come back during our next visit.
